Good morning BlueSky! Happy Monday! It always blows me away how good the Pixel is at night sky photography. I know AI does a bunch of heavy lifting, but still quite incredible. 🔭

Good morning BlueSky! Happy Friday! Hope everyone enjoyed "independence" day. Great food and fireworks are perfect to forget the recent SCOTUS ruling. 🫢 Well, here's a nice ripple of a photo... 🤷‍♂️

@faithross.bsky.social created a bumper sticker that says, "After a great fork, it's nice to be spooned" 😀

Good Morning 😎😎😎 happy hump day 😎😎😎

I'm rather impressed with the Pixel 8. This was shot with the Night Sight. I held the phone still on the car, so that helped a bunch. Facing north, I was trying to capture any scrap of the aurora. But with a little editing in Photos Editor, this is what I got. 🔭

Good morning BlueSky! Monday? Monday. Moon Day. Wish it were Sun Day... like this! Hope y'all have a tolerable day! 🔭

Since the aurora didn't make into Georgia... guessing someone or 'something' ambushed it on the way down... I got a couple decent shots of the Lion Constellation. Still haven't done any bias images - yeah, I'm lazy. 😁 🔭

Momming is hard! Happy Mother's Day to all moms... Especially, Faye @faithross.bsky.social... And of course, Faye's mom and my mom!

Well, no Aurora... But here's a couple shots from my Pixel... 🔭

Good morning BlueSky! Happy Saturday! Hope y'all enjoy your weekend... Looks like the Flow of Spring!

Good morning BlueSky! It's a Tuesday! Take a *gander* at some ducks... Babies and parents.

YEA! We got our umbrellas from Science Socks @sciencesocks.bsky.social! 🎉🎉😀 Very nice quality! Though it's comfortable to hold, it is quite sturdy. Thank you Science Socks! 🔭🎢

Good morning BlueSky! Monday! Slowly wake up. Real slow. Tap that arterial line for your coffee. Enjoy a pretty flower from the UGA Botanical Gardens. ☺️

Good morning BlueSky! We just watched Rebel Moon Part 2 last night. Could help it...

Good morning BlueSky! @faithross.bsky.social and I took her mom to the UGA Botanical Gardens yesterday for a flower filled walk. Caught this little guy who seemed to enjoy having its picture taken. Hope y'all have a wonderful Saturday!

Oh, so true... 🤣

Good morning BlueSky! Happy Thursday! Take a bit of a coffee break and relax in the knowledge that this volcano has already erupted. Fortunately, we were there well before that event. Barely caught a rainbow here... Tagaytay, Cavite, Philippines

Doing some more Maya sky research. This is from Stellarium. There is no Brian... There is only 🔭

A meme I made... 🔭

Good morning BlueSky! Easy like Sunday morning? I hope so. 😎 Great blue heron somewhere in South Carolina.

So, about 5 years ago, I ripped all my CDs (about 270) and put them all on that tiny thumb drive with tons of room to spare.

Good morning BlueSky! I hope everyone has a wonderful Tuesday!

Good morning BlueSky! A nice lazy Sunday... Time to work on some leather craft and video editing. Last couple days I've been playing with the eclipse photos. On this one, I tried to pull out some detail on the prominences. I have a couple more ideas I'll play with later. 🔭

Good morning BlueSky! Happy Friday! Weather is getting nicer and the polin is getting worse. Well, buck up and enjoy a serene photograph.

So amazing!

And here is one of the better processed still images. Near the bottom right, it looks like a nice solar flare! I'm still working to see if I can zoom in on that sucker and pull out some detail. My disappointment is that I forgot to change the ISO. I wanted it at 200 but it is at 800. 🔭

Totally!!!

First phone image... Big cameras still recording. 🔭

Waiting for the Sun - Doors song or actual? 🤔

For 1400 today (2pm for non military folks)
